Mortal Kombat 11 Art Director Seemingly Reveals Reptile's Return

I'm betting Fujin will be joining the party, too, since he had that dummied-out content back in MK9 and ended up passing that and MKX.

I'm hoping for Smoke, Rain, Kitana, Noob Saibot, Goro, Jade and Sektor. It's been so long since I've played a Mortal Kombat game I am psyched for this one, hoping for the best. It should be phenomenal on Nintendo Switch due mainly to the portability.

I want to know when Rhonda Rousey became a professional voice actor!

Let’s hope she’s better at that than fighting! LOL!

Who gives a **** at this point?

@jobvd

People who like the game/characters I imagine.

Edit: I’m sure he originally appeared in the first game.

@mist

Didn't she only lose two UFC bouts? Don't think that makes her a terrible fighter, but alas, I do not care just pointing it out.

@Romeo-75 wouldn't mind seeing Kintaro make an appearance. He always looked cooler than Goro and they could really make him look wicked now. Goro is a classic tho.

@Kidfunkadelic83, I forgot about Kintaro he was awesome and that made me think of Motaro from MK 3 he was badass also and would be another great character to make a return .

Yes Motaro too. He would look amazing too if they could get his fur etc looking good. To be fair there are quite a few decent characters in the MK universe. I only counted about 20 odd unreveald slots on the character select screen from the Showcase.

I get that the Switch now gets multiplatform games in a similar time frame to the other 2 current consoles, but I don’t think I will ever get used to speculation appearing on Nintendolife about mature games like Mortal Kombat and Doom Eternal. I understand news is news for the console we all own, it’s just weird interspersed between the norm of Yoshi and Animal Crossing updates.

He is talking about the powerups you can find in the game. It was shown in the released videos. You could also see things like Cyrax's net. Cyrax and Reptile could be in the game, and, they couldn't.

@Kainbrightside Big no to that, MK has way too many characters for that. I'd rather they continue on with characters that will be relevant to the story. I do understand where you're coming from though, it sucks to not see your main return.

Eh. I’d rather we got Rain back, he’s always getting the short end of the stick.

Sub Zero is here. Don't really care about the rest, tbh...

My faves are Reptile, Baraka, and Rain. Here's hoping i'm 3/3!

I want Shujinko to come back, I really liked that character!

@Emob that’s a really silly way to approach a fighting game, the game itself and it’s character should matter first over some cheap story that’s right really no more complex than some old Saturday morning cartoon. But I can see where you’re coming from because misguided devs like Netherrealm have conditioned you into thinking canon matters more than the actual game content.

The last mortal Kombat game i played was mk3 on the snes, things have come on a lot since then lol.
Im interested to see how this will look and play on the switch but i can't say I'm eagerly waiting for it... At the moment I'm having a hard enough time trying to juggle DBFZ and Smash.

There's a mode they showed off at the event where past fighters act as assists during the Tower fights (i.e. the mode he's talking about in the interview). The past fighters shown were Rain, Cyrax, Shinnok and... wait for it... Reptile. He's not telling us anything we don't already know. Well... maybe something NintendoLife didn't already know.

@SalvorHardin Armageddon did that. That game put almost all the characters up to that point even bosses. And it was not that great imo. Deception was by far the better game. And to say there's nothing complex about the story isn't really true.

A lot of characters have interesting backgrounds. They have reasons why they come to fight and the story can also indicate which characters are playable.

I'm still waiting on Goro, Mileena, Noob Saibot, Kabal (who was teased in the community reveal), Shang Tsung, (because time travel), Kenshi, Ermac, and maybe even some DC Comics guest characters since Scorpion and Raiden were both in Injustice 2.

@SalvorHardin It really isn't, not a every fighting game needs to be filled with the brim with characters, the reason I didn't care with Smash is because I already knew it was going to be slightly unbalanced, it always has been. I just look at Armageddon, and compare it to Deadly Alliance and Deception. They had to design so many characters that they ended up feeling shallow by comparison to the older games because they had less moves. What I'm saying is, I'd rather have around 30 good characters, than 80 boring characters.

Was my main on MK2, spamming orbs and uppercuts.

Havent really played a MK since 3 Ultimate...

@Romeo-75 I want Jade, Smoke and Rain back too!

I hope we get these in MK11 as well: Reptile, Jade, Baraka, Li Mei, Cyrax, Rain, Smoke, Noob Saibot, Fujin, Shang Tsung, and Sindel. Speaking of Shang Tsung, please let him morph freely in the game this time like the older games, that was the only fun part about him.

Please come to Switch. I’ve been lied to before. I really wanna play Mortal Kombat.

Wouldn’t it be cool if they also brought the original Mortal Kombat, 2 and UMK3?

@Kainbrightside They tried that once already.

Yesssssssssss!!!!!!! Reptile's my all-time fave!!!!!!

@Galactus_33 This game has already been confirmed for Switch.

@Kainbrightside #knowhowyoufeel

@BlueBlur101 I'm expecting Shao Khan ('cuz he's that good) didn't they say he was a pre-order bonus? I hope he becomes dlc or something.

@Reigestugatensho Yeah he's a pre order bonus

That's kind of a bummer but I was willing to pre order on both Switch and PC (I got the Premium Edition on the latter for free access to the first Kombat Pack which is great). Shao Kahn's design also looks pretty sick. I wonder if his left arm is referencing Onaga with the Dragon Scales piercing out of it? Shame he isn't a part of the story

01. SCORPION
02. RAIDEN

@BlueBlur101 thank you for the clarification! My poor wallet.....

"This reptilian fighter started out life as a hidden opponent and has since been a regular member of the cast, ..."

Nope, he was not hidden. He was in the original roster from Mortal Kombat 2 (and he was inexistent in MK1).
Noob Saibot and Smoke were hidden in MK2 and then playable in next entries.
